Re: force 85hp, '86

It could be many things. Most outboard failures are fuel related, so the fuel system should be checked out first. If that is okay, check for a spark at the spark plugs, while they are grounded. If you do not have a good repair manual (Seloc, Clymer), buying one may be a good idea as a way of approaching the problem.
